User specifications: Realme GT Neo 3 Android 14

"Ben, I found a troublesome bug in the preview feature related to material widget.

so, its the textinputlayout with the edittext, normally we do this"

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="Your Hint">
        
            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/your_edittext"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
        
        </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

"so after pressing the preview mode, then going back to layout mode, it will convert the widget into this:"

<LinearLayout
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:hint="Your Hint">

   <android.view.ViewGroup>

    <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
     android:id="@+id/your_edittext"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <LinearLayout>

     <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageButton />

     <TextView />

    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout>

     <TextView />

     <android.view.ViewGroup>

      <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageButton />

     </android.view.ViewGroup>

     <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageButton />

    </LinearLayout>

   </android.view.ViewGroup>

  </LinearLayout>

"it wont cause trouble on the compile time, but it will crash on app run."
